The Riverdales are an American Punk rock band from Chicago, Illinois made up of ex-members of Screeching Weasel. Throughout their career, the band stuck with a Punk Rock sound very reminiscent of The Ramones. Bassist Dan Schafer and guitarist Ben Foster both served as frontmen, splitting time singing lead vocals for the group. The Riverdales original run lasted from 1994-1997, they reformed in 2003 to record a new album, and reformed again in 2008. They plan to release a new album in 2009.

History

Named after the town of Riverdale from Archie Comics, the band formed in 1994. The founding members Ben Foster (guitar), Dan Schafer (bass), and Dan Sullivan (drums), were all former members of Screeching Weasel, who had broken up earlier that year. Unlike Screeching Weasel, the members of The Riverdales would be credited under their real names. Their first album was released July 7, 1995 on Lookout! Records and was produced by Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong and Squirtgun’s Mass Giorgini. Playing off this synergy, the Riverdales supported Green Day’s 1995 Insomniac Tour. That year the bands song “Back To You” appeared in the movie Angus.

Despite the reformation of Screeching Weasel in 1996, the Riverdales did not split until after recording a second album, Storm The Streets, in 1997. Ben would later say that the stress of the Green Day tour severely damaged the relationship between the band members and that, in turn, led to the break up and Schafer and Sullivan’s subsequent departures from Screeching Weasel.
